Lets not forget about Person. Word is he's a guy who could be a jack of all trades, ala Synder. And I really like Boone as the future at LT. But if Kilgore could man Center and we drafted a stud OG, that would be one hell of a interior to build from.

Staley is signed through the 2017 season. He did good in 2011. Giving up only six sacks and no holding penalties. Below are his salaries for the rest of his contract and I dont see him losing his starting LT spot until 2015 unless he gets injured. $5.1m for the next three seasons to be the starting LT. Thats mad cheap. Oh well, yay for us. :)

How many picks is it going to cost to trade up into the teens, in the case Decastro falls past the Bengals? 1st, 3rd, and 5th? Or move up in the second to get Zeitler or Silatolu? Given we're picking 32nd next season, perhaps we trade out of the 1st alltogether and stockpile next seasons draft.

It would cost far, far too much to get DeCastro but...

What are people's thoughts on dealing next year's 1st for a really high 2nd?

I am thinking if Fleener and Hill are off the board the Niners are going to trade into the second and pick up a 1 next year.

Agree. They are at a point talent-wise that if their guy isn't there, then they can trade down and stockpile for this year or next year. I'd prefer mainly future picks as they already have so many roster locks right now as it is. They don't need to be taking guys in the late 4th or early 5th that may not make the P-Squad due to other weaker teams swooping.

Agree. With that said, im still hoping for Fleener the most followed by Hill. If we get either, I'll be happy but if both are available, I prefer Fleener. If both are gone, then trading for a future first would be awesome.

I think someone will try and trade up for one of the DT's if a guy like Still, or Reyes is still there. Also I think a team trading up to get Osweiler there is a possibility, but it's a huge darkhorse scenario.

well you must have the inside beat on kilgore. if the coaches and baalke are penciling him in as the starter, im going with their judgement

Yeah well Trent also penciled in Rachal as a long term, dominant Guard. I'm just not overly confident in a late round draft pick who could not even get a handful of snaps last year. Really no reason to think he can start.

actually when trent moved to general manager, chilo rachal got demoted to 2nd string. jim harbaugh is the guy who makes the decisions on depth chart though, im sure.. but nice try.

kilgore is athletic and nasty. whats not to be excited about. we have a physical right guard for a change.

and even when its all laid out, i would trust trent baalke and jim harbaughs decision making, when it comes to football, over yours 100 times over.

Lol it's great to be naive and all but have you ever thought that maybe there's a reason Kilgore was a late round pick and did not sniff the field last year?

They did trade up for him. Maybe they had a higher grade on him than where they drafted him.

As for not seeing the field his rookie year, thats hardly an indictment. Lots of players don't see time their rookie year, and many that do struggle. A full season and offseason of learning can do wonders. I'm not saying he will be a stud, i'm just saying don't write him off because he's young and inexperienced.

late round pick.. division 1-aa player. believe it or not, you dont have to be picked in the 1st or 2nd round to be a good player. your chances at playing dont die at the draft if you're not chosen on day 1. especially at offensive line.

now these are just guys from the 2011 pro bowl roster. am i saying kilgore is gonna be like them? no. he might not even come close. but the coaching staff believes hes ready to be a starter, so i believe hes ready to be a starter.

didn't sniff the field. its called development. aaron rodgers didn't see playing time for 3 seasons and nobody closed the book on him. what do you think? people just get drafted and if they dont go high, they dont play? they dont get a chance to the develope their game? why even have a 7 round draft? why not have 1 round every year?

anthony davis was thrown in the fire from day 1 and got his ass whooped for most of the season. is that what you wanna see from kilgore? instead of a years worth of development before he touches the field? and you call me naive?
